Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 TC does this box still work? Yep no problem. Well it does momentarily freeze, only on certain channels and only in the mornings for some odd reason. Other than that it has paid for it's self already. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TC If it's freezing that will be your line not the box, perhaps your server updates in the mornings. If you press ok twice on any non free view channel you'll see some numbers that will be your ECM, the lower the number the better. 0.100 or lower is pretty stable any higher and the picture can become glitchy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Torquemada 288 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks. After the little bit of stormy weather on Saturday night my Sky box packed up, the dish had been dislodged in the wind. I phoned Sky and they said it was £75 plus a 10 day wait to get it fixed. I pay £100 per month and have been a customer for 16 years without changing. Not happy, a local satellite fella did if for £35 a couple of hours after I called him. I am going to cancel Sky now and get something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will try that later, to be honest the picture quality is as good as we got with sky, plus I can get every channel they have and we have a firestick as well, so she is happy. the only time apart from when I am working I watch it is when there is ruby on.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) We cancelled the TV and as we were out of contract with them, I went on a comparison site found the cheapest quote for our area for broadband and phone and Sky matched it. About a month ago the speed dropped considerably I got on the phone to them, they could not sort it over the phone so sent a chap out 2 days later. he sorted it in about 10 minutes.
